Macron under pressure to name new PM as France simmers ahead of protests

French President Emmanuel Macron is facing pressure to swiftly appoint a new prime minister after François Bayrou's government collapse amid budget strife. With protests planned by a group called Bloquons Tout adding to the tension, Macron must navigate a hung parliament divided into factions, making it crucial to garner support from the left or center for passing essential budget measures. As the search for a new prime minister intensifies, Macron aims to stabilize France amid market concerns and civil unrest, following Bayrou's resignation and the need to address the country's high debt levels.
